No. 1, which now arrives from Racine al,

filed with terrors and dangers; Texas is
country filed with terrors and dangers,
ergo, I must be a very brave man"
Simple and childish as this may appear,
it has its influence, and the result is that
people coming TO the state, and who
ought to know better. are impelled by g
kind of desperation to face the expected
dangers they have been taught to believe
existed. In some Of the old states, to be
''bad man from Texas" is a mark of
distinction MOTTO be lost by little equivo-
cation or slight exsggerstion. If those
who have lived in Texas and who visit or
write to their old homes would take
Precedent Clevelsnd's advice and "tell
the truth" the reputation of the stste
would be benefited materially. A good

in Texas, but they would have suffered
the same fate anywhere else.

nTELL THE TRNTHu

A large number of people will take ad-
vantage OF the cheap fares given to the
old states to visit their homes during the
holidays and witness the scenes Of long
ago. BY little effort these visits can be
made profitable to the state, and THE
GAZETTE believes that those who have re-
sided any length of time in Texas and
who contemplate making the state their
homes will be willing to take the trouble
It is merely to tell the truth and correct
the false impressions abroad concerning
the state. 1t is q sort OF human
weakness which all possess to tacitly
accept any tribute to personal bravery
which may be offered indirectly even at
the sacrifice of other interests. Young
men especially, love to be considered
brave to heroism. They return to the old
home, and the friends of their childhood
gather around them to see and hear the
much travelled youth, aud the mere
coloring he throws into his description OF
Texas, the more periIous he makes
residence here, the greater will be the
measure of admiration given him. The
irresistible syllogism will be ever present:

WAR PROSPECTS,.

The war scares that have been coming
from Europe Tor the past two or three
years, are in fair Way to assume definite
shape and meaning. The fact that
millions of men have been kept under
arms and million Of dollars expended in
their maintenance and equipment must
be explained In some way by the
rulers or the people will rebel,
and there is NO way in which 1t
can be explained except by q war
that will furnish ar excuse, II not show
the wisdom of these expensive precau-
tons. The large standing army main
tainei by Germany has almsst robbed
the agricultural districts of male labor,
and by driving the women into the field
under the scourge Of necessity has I'M
seXed them. Russia has her army also,
but the conditions OF that country are
such that the people OF that country ex-
pect nothing else but oppression and TAX
alton. The messing of troops on the
frontier by Russia means that the issue
must be settled at an early
date. There is nothing specially to
fight over, however much the Bulgarian
question may be magnifed, save that tn
rulers have gone so far II their Wsrlike
preparations that they dare not turn back
now and meet the condemnation of an
overtsxed people. They mast fight. We
would not regret skirmish that might
eventuste in the freedom of brave little
Poland. It would give the world fresh
confidence in the virtue Of heroic blood
and patriotic effort. II it is to be merely
. transfer Of that ilI-fsted land from Rus
sian to German bondage, after making it
the theater Of fierce war, no one will
care much for the change. Austria and
Germany are practically one country
at present, for war purposes, and
the same may be said of France and
Russia Notwithstanding the highly pacific
utterances of the new President of the
French republic. Should active hostilities
begin between Germany and Russia one
blast upon Boulanger's bugle horn would
start ven-tenths of Frances fighting
men to the Rhine, and they would run
over and trample under foot any ministry
or president that tried to oppose them
1t may be accepted as fact that war is
in the air in Europe, and that one Of the
fercest and bitterest as well as most ex-
pensive wars of modern times will soon
be fought.

A Railway COMPANY Discovers Crooked.
ness In tho Ticket agents Department..
PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 20 For months
the officials of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railroad have suspected that some
thing very loose or something positively
crooked has existad in the ticket sales
and receipts of the road and within q few
weeks they have obtained proof that they
were being systematically robbed, but
where and by whom and to what extent
can only be told after careful investigs-
ton OF the books and accounts of the
whole department. Il is thought that
counterfeit tickets are in exist
ence and from the system of ticket
account kept by the company it
would hardly be possible without collu-
sion or fraud to be perpetrated. In an
interview, General Superintendent Hol-
brock said: ono person is accused of de-
the read. There has been some
very careless work done, however, and
this We propose to put right. If anything
crooked exists it will be found and in.
vestigsted. There are some very peculiar
tickets used on the road and propose to
find out whether they come from our own

The management Of THE GAZETTE has
received complaints from parties saying
they had paid subscriptions to THE GA
zETTK to one Skinner and had not re-
ceived the paper. We have no such
agent, never gave him authority to solicit

before.
TIE public are notified that Mr.. L.
Calhoun is the only regular authorized
travelling agent for THE GAZETTE, and
this offce will be responsible for sub

local agents are known in their respective
localities, and are responsible to the sub

wishing to subscribe for THE GAZETTE
are, therefore, advised to psy the money

shun all so-caIled agents who are not
known to them as being reliable. THE
